Residents have demanded that new measures be put in place to protect drivers after a man in his 80s was left in a serious condition following a crash in Ravenshead.
It comes only days after Mansfield couple Robert Bowker and Jennifer Hopkinson were killed while driving on the nearby A60.
Earlier today, police attended the scene of a collision on Main Road in the village involving a Daewoo Matiz and a Toyota Ravia 4.
The incident, which took place around midday, closed the road for an hour while police dealt with the aftermath.
Both drivers were taken to hospital where one remains in a serious condition.
The road is less than a ten minute drive away from the scene where Mr Bokwer and Miss Hopkinson collided with a bus.
The section of the road where the crash happened has a 60mph speed limit which drops to 40mph further along the highway.
It is also where just over a year ago two teenagers were killed in another collision.
Adam Paul Smith, 18, and Guy Bennett, 19, both from the Mansfield area, died after colliding head-on with a van in Main Road on December 1, 2013.
Resident Michelle Harvey's house is a short walk away from where the crash happened.
The 47-year-old said: "We just think it's terrible.
"I've got three daughters, two of them drive and I had a panic when I first heard there was a crash.
"Something needs doing about the traffic especially after what happened on the A60.
"I am just pleased I wasn't here when it happened, I was when Adam and Guy died and it was just too distressing."
Neighbour Wayne Hawkins, 37, says people have been demanding for improvements for a long time.
He added: "The whole road here was closed we couldn't even get into the house."
Nottinghamshire Police have put out an appeal for any witnesses to the crash to come forward. If you saw what happened or have any information call 101.
